MM, the house while grandiose and not my style was very impressive!
We did all the tours they offered….with the mindset that we may never come again. Expensive, but worth it. We saw 90% of the house. The ‘rooftop tour’ was the best. You get up close and personal to gargoyles. It was heavenly.
Raise your hand if you have reacted to the BP spill by using less oil (directly, by driving less or canceling a vacation for example, or indirectly, by buying less stuff).

OK now raise your hand if you have reacted to the BP spill by indignantly blaming BP and its executives but doing nothing to reduce oil consumption (somebody else is supposed to do that, right)?
I hope lessons are learned from this massive mess with the oil spill. Mistakes were made right and left, but mostly in depending on technology for which there are no worst case scenarios planned for. There seems to be this “it’s the Titanic, it will never sink” kind of mentality. We develope super viruses with no antidote, deep water drilling with no way to cap a spill, and on and on. One can only hope that this disaster will somehow loosen the oil industry’s grip on alternative energies, so they can finally be developed in a really meaningful way, not just as overpriced experiments and trendy prototypes. We need to be in the position to not need offshore oil that can only be accessed by risky drilling proceedures.
“You’re dumb, but you’re not dumb, you know what I mean.”
You’re mean, and you’re mean.
lechacal, I bought an electric pump to change the oil in the boat.
If I needed gas, i would drive by a BP dstation for another. But, i still need the gas.
Oh lechacal, Please go back to working on clay-mation. Much more amusing!
denton, they’ve abandoned the cap. The shares are falling again.

That’s what I thought.
I heard it from DIBS, denton.

where’d you hear that, Cobble? They’re still in the middle of the ‘capping’ thing?
